THE WORLD Cup came to a care home in Rugby.
Residents, relatives, staff and visitors – including Mayor Nooria Sayani – at Anya Court put their skills to the test as they enjoyed a day of finger football, foosball and Subbuteo to celebrate Care Home Open Week.
They enjoyed a variety of football-themed activities, alongside an American smokehouse-themed lunch and refreshments inspired by the World Cup host nations.
The day concluded with a screening of the iconic 1966 World Cup Final in the home’s cinema room, giving residents and visitors the opportunity to relive one of English football’s most memorable moments and share their own tournament memories.
Leasa Marriott, Customer Relationship Manager at Anya Court, said: “Care Home Open Week is a brilliant chance for us to welcome people in and celebrate everything that makes our home special.
“We enjoyed a joyful day of activities, laughter and community spirit, and the residents had a great time.”
Care Home Open Week is a nationwide initiative supported by Championing Social Care, encouraging care homes to open their doors, connect with their communities and showcase the positive impact of social care.
Nye Brown, Ambassador for Championing Social Care, said: “Campaigns like Care Home Open Week help show that social care is about far more than care – it’s about connection, fun and belonging. We’re proud to be part of it.”
